Newly purchased adapter wont stay in device manager.
Posted: Sat Oct 31, 2020 4:57 am
Greetings. This may be a long post as in addition to asking for help the bottom portion is meant for the creator of the directions.
Its been 4 hours and the device does not work.
1- It shows in the device manager when plugging in.... then after 3 or 4 seconds goes away as if not plugged in.
2 - The GIMX Launcher does not show a port. Unless you start it right after you plug in the adapter during the 2 or 3 seconds before it goes away.
3 - If you click start it errors "no adapter" If you start in the 3 second window. A popup launches with some DOS commands in white and red text. But then fails and closes when the device goes away.
I really wish to enjoy this item but its becoming very hard to continue.
OK here are issues with the directions page.
The directions are a very good start but still have a lot of holes.
This is for Windows to PS4 with Logitech momo force wheel over USB.
1 - GIMX install tries to install Ardiono drivers but fails.
2 - No where in the instructions is the loading of these drivers mentioned so when a pop up appears asking to load drivers and the instructions dont state anything about them. We click no. Not sure about elsewhere in the world but in the states we get hammered with rogue software doing bad stuff to our PCs.
3 -GIMX launcher had a pop up that had an IP number in it.
4 - Again instructions do not mention this will happen so that window gets closed.
5 - These pop ups all occured almost at the same time so its pop up covering a pop up covering the launcher. It makes one think that something went wrong or that the software is malware trying to connect and install stuff "NOT MENTIONED" in the directions.
6 - After closing these windows the software never asked about them again. Even after uninstalling and reinstalling. And whats more annoying is after reading through the forums to find out ..."oh they are part of the install process" Now it makes me wonder if its not working because those pop ups where closed.
7 - At what point is the PS4 supposed to be powered on? Not stated in directions.
8 - How can one tell if the PS4 controller is off?
My apologies for the rant. After the first hour my patience was getting thin. But "Im an IT admin and I work on servers and repair laptops, I can figure this out"...... Yeah, didnt happen. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
